I am Nicholas James Bishop. The thing I really enjoy about acting is the emotion behind every world, character, interaction, and word. I prefer subtle acting vs large “character” acting. The type of theater I enjoy doing is realism, absurdism, Drama, and Tragedy. I want to break out into Television and film. I grew up with Television being a form of comfort and escape. The acting and plots of movies have made me feel a variety of different emotions that I want to ensue on some other person and inspire them like the actors I grew up watching inspired me. Movies that inspire me include Good Will Hunting, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Keith, and Nick and Norahs Infinite Playlist. I really love Thiller movies especially Slasher movies. The type of characters I prefer playing are villains, edgy, or problem characters but would love to try my hand in more romantic intimate type characters. I love voice acting, I think a lot of emotions can come straight from the voice. I like how I can close my eyes and just listen to someone's voice and know if they are standing, sitting, or laying down. I find enjoyment out of that. Voices can be in love, they can be full of joy, and they can be heartbreaking. I believe in full body acting, using my whole body to be in the moment.

I love language and the use of words. I feel a deep connection to lyrics and poetry. I love pretty things and flowery language is no exception to that fact.

I love spontaneity and improvisation because It lets my impulsive side shine through.

Artist Statement

Who I am

love being outdoors and outdoor activities! Walking, BMXing (biking), Skateboarding, Ice skating, roller-skating/rollerblading, Hiking, mounting climbing, People watching, PARKS! I want to skydive at some point. I would love to be a NASCAR driver, I hate swimming, but I will go in the water, I like fishing, I honestly enjoy doing stuff!!! I love art and any form of expression. I can spend hours at museums, aquariums, and art galleries. I love gardening! I have a huge appreciation for flowers (I love the look of them). I have never been to a botanical garden, but I want to go to one. If I wasn’t an actor, I would probably be a landscaper.

If I had to describe the word “perfect” I would show you a picture of a Pirate ship. I love Mythology (Greek, Roman, Egyptian) My favorite book series is the Percy Jackson books.

I have never been scared to do things I am not good at. I am terrible at singing but I take lessons and joined a class of people who already knew how to sing. I'm terrible at dancing but I'll be the first one on the dance floor. I am not afraid to make a fool of myself.

I love instruments and the sound they produce. I can fiddle with any instrument for days and never get bored with it. I am an extremely passionate person, so I have never been one to give up on things.

I think “baffle” is one of the funniest words in the English language and I find the minion movies hilarious.

I love dogs! My favorite dog breed is Blue Australian Cattle dogs and Dobermans. I have a boxer named Sam, he is blind and extremely dumb. But he is super sweet and affectionate and loves with his whole heart. He is my favorite being on this earth.

Family is hugely important to me, and I will do anything for my siblings and my parents.

Ramen Noodles is the greatest food to ever be created because it's fast and goes with everything. I love hot sauce and I put it on most foods. However, my favorite food is chillie.
